这个基因编码微管蛋白超家族的一个成员。该蛋白定位于中心体复制后与两个中心粒中较老的中心粒相关的中心粒近远侧附属物。这种蛋白在中心粒复制过程中的微管组织中起着中心作用。在5号染色体上发现了该基因的假基因。[由RefSeq提供，2009年1月]
This gene encodes a member of the tubulin superfamily. This protein localizes to the centriolar sub-distal appendages that are associated with the older of the two centrioles after centrosome duplication. This protein plays a central role in organization of the microtubules during centriole duplication. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 5.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]
